Two links are pi\otod to tho osoillator monlhor :34. at opposite sirlosthereof. h moans of a transverse holt as 'hlt'll o.\'- ttnds throughsaid momhor. 'l'ho roar ends of the links 3? are pivoted by a transreroobolt- 39 to tho forward end and opposite side respectively of alongitudinal link 40, the rear end of which is pivoted to a bracket 41by a bolt 41, the bracket being secured to a transverse angle bar 42,which is secured upon the top and forward end of the top Frame 2.

'ith the parts as shown in Fig. 2, it the draft handle ho swungforwardly and down wardly. tho pawl I12 hoing engaged with the tooth 26will rook tho oscillatory member it rlookwiso. as viewed in Fig. 2. and,through the int'orrnediacy of the links 37 and 40 and the other partsconnected therewith and just horoinheforo described. will oauso tho topframe 2 to be drawn forwardly, the rollers 15 traveling u the runways16, thereby elevating the top rame 2 as it moves forwardly.

\Vhen the draft handle in its forward movement has reached a.substantially horizontal position. the top frame 2 will have been raisedto tho intm'mediate position shown in Fig. it, in which position therollors 15 are noarl} midway of the inclined runways 1.

In order that tho weight of tho load earriod on the top t'ramo :2 shallnot t'oroo the top frame downwardly, when tho pawl 3'. is roloasod fromtho tooth 2o. thoro is proridoel. Fig. U. a pawl lf'i. tho lower end of\\'l|l('ll is pirotod to tho liraokot 22 and the upper end of whioh isnormally t'orood to a position in \Ylllt'll it will engage the tooth asby a roll eoniprossion spring: 44, tho forward ond ot' whioh bearsagainst tho pawl 43 and the roar ond of whioh bears against the brat-hot'hon the draft handle has swung the osoillatory member 24 to or past thoposition shown in Fig. t3. the pawl 4-3 will engage the tooth 3S andprevent rctraotion of the osrillat'ory member 24, thereby preventingdownward and rearward retraction of the top frame 2. due to the loadcarried hy said frame.

'l'ho dral't handle may now be swung upwardly and roarwm'dly from thehorizontal position to an upright position in which tho pawl 5'. will heforced h tho spring; tit into tho lltllt'll 25. if now the draft handloho swung: forwardly and downwarillv to tho horizontal position. tho pawl32 will t'oth' tho osoillator momhor it olookwiso. as riowod in Figs.

At this time the pawl 4 willongago tho tooth or abutment .27. thus holding tho osoillatory member 24from rolraotion. Tho trnok may now be drawn by the draft handlo to anyplaoo where it may ho desired to t lisohargo the load.

In ordor to disohargo the load and lower tho top t'ratno J. the pawl 43must be released from tho osoillatory member 24, and

said oscillatory member rocked counter bell crank lever arm 45 is swungto the pocloekwise, as viewed in Fig. 3, to the 1)().-3lsition shown insolid lines in Fig. 2, thereby tion shown in Fig. 6. To effect therelease of the pawl 43, the following described mechanism is employed.

livoted to the outer end of the tube 30 is a bell crank lever having onearm 45 adapted to be engaged with the thumb of the operator, and havingan arm. 46 which extends into a slot 47 in the outer end of alongitudinal rod 48 mounted in the tube 30, and having at its rear end alateral arm 49 which is slidably mounted in a slot 50 which is providedin the pawl 32. The rod 48 at its rear end is provided with a lateralarm 52 having a slot 51 in which is slidably mounted one arm of a Ushaped member 53, the two arms of which are slidably mounted in a boss54 on the inner side of one of the arms of the yoke 29, Fig. 6.

The transverse portion of the U-shaped member 53 is adapted to strikeagainst the pawl 43 and disengage it from the oscillatory member 24. Toefl'ect this, one arm of the U-shaped member 53 has secured to it acollar 55, Figs. 5 and 6, which is adapted to be struck by the arm 52and forced rearwardly with the member 53 to a position in which saidmember will engage and release the pawl 43. T 0 force the member 53forwardly out of engagement from the pawl 43, it has mounted on one arma coil spring 56, Fig. 6, the rear end of which bears against the boss54 and the forward end of which bears against a collar 57 secured to onearm of the member 53.

When it is desired to release the pawl 43, the arm 45 of the bell cranklever at the outer end of the draft handle is swung to the positionshown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, thereby forcing the rod 48 rearwardly,thus permitting the pawl 32 to engage the member 24. After this has beendone, continued movement of the rod 48 would cause the arm 52 to strikeagainst the collar 55, thus forcing the member 53 against the pawl 43,thereby further compressing the spring 56 and releasing the pawl 43 fromthe tooth 27 or 28 with which it may be engaged. In the meantime, theparts being as shown in Fig. 3, with the exception that the pawl 32 willbe in the notch 25, the member 24 may be oscillated counter-clockwise,as viewed in Fig. 3, by swinging the draft handle from the horizontal tothe upright position, at which time the member 24 will be in theposition shown in Fig. 6, with the pawl 43 again engaged with the tooth28.

Upon now swinging the arm 45 of the bell crank lever to the positionshown in Fig. 3, the rod 48 will be drawn forwardly, the arm 52 thereofwill release the collar 55, and the arm 49 will draw the pawl 32 out ofthe notch 25. The draft handle isthen swung forwardly and downwardly,and the permitting the spring 36 to again force the pawl 32 into aposition in which it will en gage the tooth 26. The bell crank lever arm45 is then swung to the position shown in dotted lines in F ig. 2,thereby still further rearwardly forcing the rod 48, the arm 52 of whichwill again strike the collar 55 and force the member 53 to a position inwhich it will release the pawl 43 from the tooth 28. The weight of theload on the top frame 2, which is now in the intermediate position shownin Fig. 6, will force said frame downwardly and will retract the member24 and with it the draft handle which will again assume the positionshown in Fig. 2.

In order that the pawl 32 may be held disengaged from the member 24, soas to per mit free swinging of the draft handle, the outer end of thearm 46 of the bell crank lever at the forward end of the draft handle,is provided with a notch 58, Fig. 2, into which the rod 48 is adapted toenter when the bell crank lever is swung to the position shown in Fig.3. When so positioned, the bell crank lever and the rod 48 are lockedtogether, the tube 30 holding the rod 48 from lateral movementsufficient to permit the rearward swinging of the arm 46 and thuspreventing the spring 36 from forcing the pawl 32 into engagement withthe oscillatory member 24. When the bell crank lever is so disposed, asshown in Fig. 3, the draft handle may be freely swung to and fro as maybe desired.

The oscillatory member 24 is provided with a peripheral notch 59 adaptedto re ceive the bolt 39, Figs. 3 and 6, when the oscillatory member 24has been swung to a position a little forward of that shown in Fi 6.This is to enable the member 24 ma ing a straight pull upon the link 40,after said member has been swung to a position, approaching that shownin Fig. 3, in which the links 37 will incline downwardly and forwardlyfrom the horizontal. The notch 59 is so shaped, that the member 24 willbear against the link 40 when the pawl 32 is in the notch 25 and thedraft handle is swung upwardly and rearwardly for the purpose of forcingthe top frame 2 off from the fiat surfaces 21 and onto the inclinedrunways 16.

My invention is adapted particularly for use in lifting piles of aperwhich are mounted on elevated plat orms, not shown, under which thetruck is adapted tobe run and which are of such height from the floorthat they may be lifted therefrom when the top frame 2 is raised to theposition shown in Fig. 3.

In the operation of my invention, the truck, with the parts positionedas shown in Fig. 2, is run under the load which it is desired to liftand transport. lrel'erahly the load is disposed on the lloor at a heightslightly above the top of the frame 2. The lever or draft handle is thenswung clocle wise from the upright to the horizontal for ward position,shown in Fig. (3, thus carrying the oscillatory member 24' to a positionwhich permits the pawl 43 to drop in hehind the teeth 28. At this timethe top frame, as before described, will be in the position shown inFig. (3, and the .load carried thereby will have been lifted. To stillfurther lift the load, if this should be desired, the draft handle orlever is swung to the position shown in Fig. 2, in which position thepawl 32 will be forced by the spring 36 into the notch 25. The drafthandle is then again swung forwardly to the horizontal position. Duringthis movement the links 37 will pass to a forwardly and downwardlyinclined position, and the link 10 will enter the notch 59 and engagethe periphery of the member 24, thus securing a straight forward pull onthe link 40.

By the time the draft handle has reached, in its second oscillation, thehorizontal position, the top frame 2 and its load will reach theuppermost position, shown in Fig. 3, at which time the pawl 4.3 willdrop in behind the tooth 27 of the member 24. The bell crank arm 45 maynow be swung to the position shown in Fig. 3, thereby withdrawing thepawl 32 from the notch 25, if dc sired, so that the draft handle may beswung freely in transporting the truck to the desired place.

When the load is to be discharged, the draft handle is again swung to aposition in which the pawl 32 can enter the notch 25, at which time thebell crank arm 45 is swung to the position shown in dotted lines in Fig.2, thus permitting the pawl 32 to enter the notch 25 and causing the rod48 to engage and force rearwardly the collar 55 and the member 53, thusreleasing the pawl 43 from the tooth 27 with which it is engaged. Thedraft handle is then swung from the horizontal position upwardly,thereby rocking the member 24 counter-clockwise, as viewed in Fig. 3,and causing said member to engage the end of the link 40, therebyforcing the top frame 2 and the load rearwardly, the forward and rearrollers 15 running ofi from the horizontal surfaces 21 and down therunways 16 to the position shown in Fig. 6, at which time the pawl 43will engage the tooth 28, thereby holding the top frame 2 and the loadfrom further downward movement, until the draft handle has beenreleased, in the manner described, from the member 24 and swung to theforward horizontal position. At this time the bell crank arm 45 is againoperated to release the pawl 32 and permit it to engage with the tooth26. At the same time the rod 48 will be l'oreed reaiwvardly to aposition in which the member 53 will release the pawl iii. 'lhe 'weightof the load on the top frame 2 will now force the said frame downwardlyto the position shown in Fig. 2, the operator holding back on the drafthandle to prevent too sudden a descent of the load.

The platform, not shown, which carries the load, will now be restingupon the floor, and the truck may be witlnlrawn for use elsewhere.

Upon the upper side of the frame 1 at the forward end thereof, andadjacent to the forward corners respectively of said frame, may beprovided two upwardly extending lugs 60 over which the forward end ofthe frame 2 is adapted to pass, and which are respectively adapted toengage the opposite inner sides of the frame 2, for holding the latteragainst lateral movement at its forward end when the forward rollers 15pass from the runways 16 onto the forward fiat horizontal surfaces 21.
